You want to meet us at South Coast sometime in next few weeks???? &nbsp;It would be so fun to meet you - I feel like I already know you in some ways!</p> <p>Thank you Angie for giving me your opinion. &nbsp;Heels it is - pic to come soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes/page/2#post-1358879 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:59:59 +0000 karymk 1358879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlee I would take that vest back post haste. &nbsp;There will be a better fitting version of it out there somewhere (H and M maybe?)&nbsp;</p> <p>Did you and Vicki go to the Zara at SCP? Is it open now? I haven't been down there in a long time but wondered if it had reopened yet. &nbsp;K </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes/page/2#post-1358242 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:50:04 +0000 Angie 1358242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The denim vest is very fashion forward, and you rock it.

That's all. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes/page/2#post-1358049 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:32:37 +0000 Deborah 1358049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Anna. Don't alter the vest. The vest is perfect, it's just getting the accompanying pieces right. Can't wait to see with skinny bottom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1358045 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:00:59 +0000 bella 1358045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can try heels of course:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.afterdrk.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/afterdrk-ways-denimvest4.jpg">http://www.afterdrk.com/wp-con.....mvest4.jpg</a></p> <p>But it seems to me you are doing it right. Have you tried a short sleeved or elbow sleeved top underneath? Maybe that will help with the proportions.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1358037 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 06:20:37 +0000 Neel 1358037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is the proportions for sure. I like the vest as is. Heels might help too ... But skinnier bottoms might be the most flattering with this vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357959 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:29:57 +0000 Jaime 1357959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Anna's last link with the pretty dress and heels and oversized vest.

Alternatively, as others have suggested, pair with&nbsp;skinnies and keep the boxiness of the vest.<br />Thanks, AJ for the links- the Philip Lim belted vest looks amazing!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357904 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 02:34:02 +0000 annagybe 1357904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't alter the vest! I'm zagging against the forum again. It's really cool and current. We just need to work on the styling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357889 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 02:06:15 +0000 catgirl 1357889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this is super fashion forward for sure. I'd like to see it with distressed black skinnies. I think it's a little off proportionally with the flats and culottes. I have no ideas for styling culottes though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357875 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 01:40:28 +0000 Janet 1357875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it is quite oversized, but&nbsp;I think it could work with different styling. I was immediately reminded of the 3.1 Phillip Lim&nbsp;oversized vest I got during NAS (but a non-NAS sale item). I've attached a picture, but it's not styled (and I have no makeup &amp; messy hair) because I was just trying it on. I realize mine is more of a fall/winter item, but it did make me think that longer bottoms such as skinnies or even flares might balance out the volume of the top better. Do you see what I mean? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357872 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 01:33:31 +0000 Deborah 1357872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's quite a bit of volume with volume.&nbsp; The look is not conventionally flattering so too make it more so, given the length of the vest, I would suggest a slim bottom, but maybe that's not the look you want?&nbsp; A skinny pant or jeans would looks so cool with the oversized vest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357868 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 01:28:34 +0000 Diana 1357868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had another thought. I wonder if a lighter colored bottom in the same style might work because it would be lower contrast. Right now the eye is drawn toward the lighter vest and that may overemphasize its length and size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357865 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 01:23:21 +0000 Niki Lea 1357865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, I like the pieces individually but agree that something shorter on top or tucked plus heels/a pointy toe would help. Love the cullottes! Super cute pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357679 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 19:43:13 +0000 columbine(erin) 1357679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Diana's suggestion. I wish the vest was a bit shorter. I do love the culottes and sneakers but maybe a heel would help here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357631 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:24:47 +0000 Gracie 1357631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too, would like to see the vest with skinny bottoms and heels. I like kellygirl's suggestion to cut the "cap" sleeves in to show more of your shoulder as they are adding width to your shoulders the way they project sort of straight out. The culottes are fab, would like to see them with a shorter, softer top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357625 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:18:39 +0000 Cerinda 1357625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would clunky-er sporty shoes add some balance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357621 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:15:58 +0000 Suz 1357621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed how a lot of those outfits Anna linked to show the oversized denim worn essentially as a cape! That makes it easier, no? LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the suggestions you've received so far, and just have to add that this shade of denim is magical on you.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357603 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:48:09 +0000 Marley 1357603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions so far! &nbsp;AJ - I love some of those pinterest outfits. &nbsp;Wonder why I never thought to look on pinterest???? &nbsp;Also, Anna - I really appreciate the visuals you linked to. &nbsp;That R13 cape is so cool!</p> <p>Please keep your feedback coming! &nbsp;I seem to have lost the battery to my camera so I'm going to have to buy a new one before I can take new pics - trying the vest out with heeled shoes, etc.</p> <p>Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357602 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:46:30 +0000 Diana 1357602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it possible to have the vest shortened? I like the boxy fit and the volume-over-volume style but feel like it's a bit too long for the culottes, so your upper half looks disproportionately long.</p> <p>Or try a heel as others have suggested.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357594 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:34:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1357594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see it with slimmer bottoms?&nbsp; Heels?&nbsp; I really like what you are trying to do here, but I'm afraid I'm in the "overwhelmed" camp rather than just "oversized". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357586 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:19:27 +0000 annagybe 1357586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://eatsleepdenim.com/blog/denim-trends-2/get-it-already-the-oversized-denim-jacket/#.VBnDAPldV8E">http://eatsleepdenim.com/blog/.....BnDAPldV8E</a> </p> <p>ETA&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/lined-trucker-cape-r13/vp/v=1/1549065843.htm?folderID=13380&amp;fm=other-shopbysize&amp;colorId=60332">http://www.shopbop.com/lined-t.....r-shopbysi</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357582 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:14:27 +0000 rabbit 1357582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all the parts. &nbsp;I'm also thinking a heel if worn as is, even tall black boots to further lengthen the legs. &nbsp; Or the the vest with skinny longer&nbsp;bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-sleeveless-vestculottes#post-1357579 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:09:08 +0000 annagybe 1357579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually oversized denim jackets and vest are trending right now. But yeah I think you need a heel. </p>
